Strange Transmission mount... help needed! (picture included)

I have a 2000 2.7 4x4 m/t and I can not seem to find the right transmission mount to replace my wasted one. I even contacted the service dept at a local dealership and they were telling me the wrong mount as well. It looks like a 6cyl mount. Is there any way I can verify what mount this is before I go wasting my time again, buying one that wont fit?

Thanks!

Steve

 

I have the same truck, if I remember I will get a picture of mine for comparison.

 

That is the mount indeed for a V6. Odd that it fits yours no problem. When I replaced my mount a few months back in exchange for a polyurethane one it looked exactly as yours did.

 

Why on a 4 cylinder? You ever heard of this before?

 

A lot of the stuff between models was transferred over. It wouldn't surprise me if the frame is similar between the 4 and the 6 cylinder. They do it for cost saving reasons. Just get a V6 mount and call it a day since it seems to fit.

 

Whats the most reasonable one to buy, with some performance upgrade of course I was looking at the 4xinnovations one...

 

The OE part number if it helps is 12371-0C020.

I think you pretty much got all of your questions answered.

 

I have the 4X one it does tend to vibrate more then stock .

I only notice it at Stop lights

I have close to 100,000 miles on it so far nice and tight

 

I have the same truck and the same problem.

I ordered this part

What did you find out, Steve?

 

Looks like you got the V6 mount

 

Exactly, because I cannot find a 2.7 mount that looks like mine. I'm at a loss. The mount that comes up based on what is supposed to be the correct oem part number (12371-0c020) looks like this, which is clearly wrong.
The Toyota catalog shows this part as well. https://www.toyotapartsdeal.com/oem/toyota~insulator~engine~mounting~rear~no~1~12371-0c020.html
Talking to a dealer has been utterly fruitless as well. They just announce the part number like a robot and then glaze over when I try to explain the whole conundrum, again.

 

This it?

Unfortunately, no. I've got the 4x4. You can see in the photos above the legs are asymmetrical, one is straight, one is bent. It literally looks exactly like the 3.4 mount, but is evidently slightly smaller.

 

Have you checked with @gunny1005 at Camelback Toyota?

 

Im having the same problem. I have returned four mounts, none of them worked.

 

Have you tried this https://partsfactory.camelbacktoyot...jb21hJnk9MjAwMCZ0PWJhc2UmZT0yLTdsLWw0LWdhcw==

 

That may well be correct, but the illustration doesn't represent the actual part, if that's the case.

Is that a common thing in these Toyota databases? The inconsistency in the accuracy of these reference drawings is super annoying, sometimes they appear to be extremely accurate, down to differentiating sub-model specific parts physical attributes, other times they evidently don't bother to properly represent critical components.

 

According to what it fits it should. Only fits 4cyl mt
